The CBRE 2026 data showing 73% of organisations peaking on Tuesdays means pod planning must account for peak-day demand, not average utilisation. A pod deployment sized for average daily attendance will be insufficient on Tuesday and oversized on Friday. The practical approach: size pod capacity for peak-day demand (Tuesday equivalent), deploy a mix of single and multi-person models, and use a booking system to distribute utilisation across models and times. Pods with 2–4 hour assembly time can be added as organisations learn their actual peak demand patterns.
